A Love Beyond All Measure part 14

Heero gently bathed Duo's abused, bruised and beaten body and the boy whimpered a little. He was barely conscious when they arrived back home.

Heero sighed as he gently continued to clean Duo up. He'd started vomiting on the way back and had started shaking violently.

"D...d... drugs." The Shinigami had stammered. " They forced me."

He'd called Quatre and got him to drop bread and milk off, but he wouldn't allow anyone to see the violet-eyed Shinigami.

Flashback

"Why? " the blonde haired boy had questioned. "Everyone's worried about him!"

"He's just resting right now and he asked me not to let any one know what's happening. He'll tell you all himself when he's stronger."

Quatre had smiled in understanding. "You always were loyal to him."

Heero had grinned, "Like you always have been with Trowa. "

A smirky little grin developed on the blonde boy's face. "Yes, well that's a slightly different matter he and I are lovers, you know that …and I also know that Duo happens to l~."

"I know, but I don't want to discuss this. I have things to do, Duo needs to be bathed and. ~~"

Quatre had silenced him with a finger over his mouth. "Look beyond your perfect soldier persona Heero, remember you said you didn't want that label hanging over your head any more, the war is over it's ok to love who you want to there's no crime in it. Think about it."

Damn Quatre and his lectures…

End flashback

His mind jumped back to the momen

He found it hard to even touch certain parts of his body, just at the thought of what those bastards had done to him he didn't want to hurt him anymore than he had been already.

Duo lay in the tub drifting in and out of consciousness, not really fathoming what was going on. He looked up at Heero who was cradling him in the bath sitting in the water with him and he gave a weak smile before drifting into another darkened unconscious sleep.

Soon Heero had bathed and dressed Duo's wounds that needed attending and put his friend to bed. He sat beside him and with out thinking started to stroke his hair above his forehead.

"I knew it, I knew I should have made you come into the store with me you baka." Heero's voice was sad and whispery, he felt guilty that he hadn't been there when Duo had needed him the most.

Heero got up and sat in the chair by the bed and within minutes of shutting his eyes the blue eyed boy was asleep, emotionally worn out from all that had happened today.

The screams echoed into the night and Heero jumped out of the chair, gun at the ready.

"Duo!" Heero gasped as he rushed over to the youth who was writhing and screaming in his sleep.

The boy was beyond consoling as he snapped at Heero's touch, screaming even more and louder, to be left alone, to not be touched.

Heero's mind raced. What could he do? What?"

He reached out for the boy only to make things worse.

"DON'T FUCKING TOUCH ME!!!!!!!" the boy screamed "…LEAVE ME ALONE FUCKING BASTARDS, HEERO WILL KILL YOU!!" Arms and legs began to flay about the loud and hysterical boy. " HEERO LOVES ME, HE'LL PROTECT ME, HE WILL, HE'LL KILL YOUUUUUUUUUUU!"

Heero backed off and swallowed nervously, his breathing a little tense. He had to get close to him, he had to comfort the boy.

Heero loves me he'll protect me the braided baka had said. Heero felt as if his heart would snap in two.

Duo was obviously sure of his love for the blue-eyed boy, but Heero didn't even know if he could feel that way about anything or anyone. He'd never experienced `love ` in any way shape or form. And it was so clichéd that it just didn't mean anything to him.

That's the way he'd always been and that's the way he felt he had to stay. It was safer that way .You can't get hurt and you don't have to worry about any one or anything. He satisfied himself by thinking that way.

But then why? Why did he find himself so angry when he saw what they had done. Why did he feel so alone right now and why did his heart ache when he looked at Duo?

"KUSO!!" he growled aloud, looking around trying to think of something.

"Duo it's me, c'mon take it easy." he said trying to get close enough to the boy as to calm him down enough to make him see he was safe.

Duo screamed and kicked and flayed and Heero knew that he'd make himself hyperventilate if he didn't calm him soon. And in his present state that may not be a good thing. He had to calm him now.

Taking a deep breath the boy lunged at his friend, grabbing him around the waist, copping a punch to the face as he did so, but he held on tight to the boy pulling his head onto his chest and talking to him in a soothing manner, stroking his forehead as the other boy continued to panic hysterically.

"Shhhhhhh… Duo it's me Heero. I'm here, Duo, shhhhhhh it's ok buddy, I'm here " he said calmly, holding the boy tightly to his chest. And rocking gently and slowly the screams subsided into heartfelt sobs.

" H, H, Hee, Heero." the frightened voice whispered softly.

Heero pulled him tighter into him. "Yes Duo I'm here!"

"I, w, wa, was sc, sca, scared H, Heero, r, really scared " he sobbed into the boys chest, gripping his shirt with a vice like grip and soaking it with his tears.

"I know Duo, I know, and I was scared for you, but no one's going to hurt you anymore I'll protect you. Shhhhhh, I'm here. I'll take care of you. I promise" He comforted the boy as he still clung to him like he never wanted to let go.

"I, I, if I had b, b, been st, st, stro, stronger I cou, could have ~ "

"Shhhhhhhh Duo, enough. It's going to be ok... I'm here with you now. " the blue eyed boy said almost choking on his words as he fought back tears himself.

He continued to rock the boy gently, stroking his back now and being as gentle as he possibly could as he slowly calmed the young boy down.

He held him close to his chest for what seemed like an eternity and finally the violet eyed youth had calmed sufficiently to breath normally again, the occasional sob came through but at least now he was out of any kind of danger he could have been in if Heero hadn't of been able to calm him.

Soon Heero could hear little even breaths and sighed a heavy sigh of relief. He gently laid Duo back onto the bed and went to get back on the chair but a hand reached out and grabbed his arm.

"Please don't leave me. Stay here I'm scared."

Heero looked into the violet eyes staring pleadingly at him. "I'll be on the chair Duo I'm not~"

"NO!! " the boy shot at him. "Please. Here! Stay here with me please!!" the boy's voice was anxious and Heero feared that he may relapse into hysterics again if he didn't heed the boy's request and it was ~understandable~ Heero reasoned as he lay himself next to the frightened boy.

He didn't stop the arm from wrapping around his waist or the head snuggling into his neck as the other youth moved as close as he could into Heero's body contour, but today he didn't mind.

It had been a traumatic day for both of them…
